Reactor hydraulics is one of the key factors for plant performance and plant control. The residence time distribution is a good but limited indicator of reactor hydraulics. A more detailed view is obtained by direct observations within the reactor. Two different techniques (conservative tracer, reactive tracer) are discussed to detect major anomalies in the flow field of a wastewater aeration tank. Experiments with conservative tracers give valuable information over a very limited period of time making the analysis of the flow field difficult. On the other hand, reactive tracers can be monitored long term which helps identifying the flow pattern provided that a high spatial and temporal resolution of the measurements is applied. Experimental data is used to determine the structure and the parameters of a compartment model that corresponds well with the measurements.

Biological wastewater treatment harnesses the action of bacteria and other microorganisms to clean waterBiological wastewater treatment is a process that seems simple on the surface since it uses natural processes to help with the decomposition of organic substances, but in fact, it’s a complex, not completely understood process at the intersection of biology and biochemistry.Biological treatments rely on bacteria, nematodes, or other small organisms to break down organic wastes using normal cellular...

The paper mill industry produces high amounts of wastewater and, for this reason, stringent discharge limits are applied for sustainable reclamation and reuse of paper mill industry wastewater in many countries. Submerged membrane bioreactor (sMBR) systems can create new opportunities to eliminate dissolved substances present in paper mill wastewater including. In this study, a sMBR was operated for the treatment of paper mill industry wastewater at 35 h of hydraulic retention time (HRT) and 40 d of sludge...

The Nordic Wood Biorefinery Conference was held in Stockholm, Sweden during March 28-30, 2017. An abstract presentation authored by partners from VTT, Kemira, FPInnovations and MANTECH was presented during the conference. The PeCOD® Analyzer has the ability to enable pulp and paper mills to improve effluent treatment process and to optimize chemical programs, leading to proper chemical dosage (not over or under doses) and lower energy requirements for treatment. The strong correlation between the photoelectroch...
